INVENTION'S RIPEST FRUIT! HAS BEARINGS LIKE A BICYCLE! THE LIGHTEST WORKING MOWER nADE. 



A 24=inch cut pushes as easily as an ordinary Mower <£ A lawn may now be mown in one=halt the time re- 

 of only 16-inch cut. ji quired with old style narrow-cut Mowers. 



The "Henderson Ball-Bearing" Lawn Mower is superior to all other Mowers in the following respects : The 

 axles of the revolving cutter, like the axles of a bicycle, work in "ball-bearing" journal boxes or cups which reduces 

 the friction enormously. These parts are made of the finest case-hardened steel, and will last for years, though we 

 have provided against wear should there be any — so that any one. by simply loosening one screw and tightening an- 

 other, can force the cup and balls higher up the cone-shaped ends of the revolving shaft, thereby taking up all possible 

 wear. This adjustment is so simple, yet positive, that it can be set to a hair. Our Mower is also built scientifically 

 correct in other respects, resulting in a phenomenally light running Mower. A 24-inch cuts the grass as easily as a 

 16-inch olds'yle Mower. 



A wide-cut Mower, in addition to doing the work a great deal quicker, lasts much longer than a narrow-cut 

 Mower, for there is less wear ; in other words, if it requires 100 times around with a 12-inch Mower to cut a lawn, it will 

 only take fifty times around to cut it with a 24-inch Mower. 



The "Henderson Ball-Bearing" is strictly a high- class Mower ; we have not endeavored to make it "cheap." but 

 the best we know how— from the highest quality of iron and steel, which has enabled us to very materially reduce the 

 weight. The castings are lathe- turned and bored, and the journals machine-trimmed, which insures trueness in fitting 

 and smoothness in working, -with no irregularities to wear off and leave rattle and play. The knives, of the finest 

 steel and temper, are sharp and cut like razors, and will keep so if the under knife is kept tightened up to the revolv- 

 ing knives : for then the blades wear to the same bevel, and. in consequence, are self- sharpening. We have so simpli- 

 fied the adjustments in our new Bali-Bearing Mower that even those ignorant of mechanics will have no trouble in 

 always keeping our Mower in fine cutting order, and the lawn in uninjured condition. 



The "Henderson Ball-Bearing" Mower has high drive wheels, both of which are connected by "train 



gears" to the large, oper, non-clog- 

 ging cylinder placed far enough 

 back to prevent any "kicking up" 

 of the Mower when it strikes heavy

 other Mowers. The handles are 

 braced and reinforced to prevent 

 twisting and breaking when one side 

 of the Mower is held off the ground, 

 and besides the handle is equipped 

 with improved "grips " which keeps 

 the hands in a natural position, gives

than a continued grasp, with wrists

We wish to reiterate that our 

 "Henderson Ball-Bearing" Mower 

 is made without regard to cost— to 

 be the best, most durable, and the 

 easiest working Mower on the mar- 

 ket, and while the prices are neces- 

 sarily a little higher than those of 

 Mowers simply made to sell, yet in 

 the end our Mower will prove much 

 cheaper, aside from annoying delays 

 and repairs experienced with cheap 

 Mowers.
